The Zhurong rover was launched from Earth on July 23, 2020 and arrived on Mars in the spring of 2021. It traversed a large crater known as Utopia Planitia, approximately 1,800 kilometers northeast of NASA’s Perseverance rover.

“The Mars orbiter and rover are doing very well, smoothly and safely providing reports from Mars, and sending great blessings,” said CBSA, in an official statement, quoted from Mashable, Monday (28/6/2021).

Zhurong sent pictures of diverse landscapes with underground ice, volcanoes, dunes, and more.

Utopia Planitia was chosen by the CNSA as the site of Zhurong’s exploration for about 90 days, and is also a continuation of humanity’s search for signs of ancient life.

The pictures that Zhurong took use a wireless camera that can be stored on the ground and then taken back.

There is also a video taken from a camera mounted on the center pylon of Zhurong, when the rover first moved its wheels on the surface of Mars. This video includes audio of the rover mechanics at work.

CNSA scientists say they hope to use the audio system to capture the sound of the wind on Mars, something we hope to hear in future videos.
